Mr Hill decided to put his life on hold and drop out of college, with the pair embarking on a touching journey that has seen them fly a plane, offer food to the homeless – and, now, appear on live television.

“If I was told he had five years to live then maybe we could have made all this amazing stuff happen while I was at school,” Mr Hill said.

“Because he had a year left, I had to get straight to it. It made sense to put my life aside so that I can make sure he experiences his.”

Mr Betancourt described the journey with his best friend as “amazing”.

“To be able to be on live television and to experience these wonderful things is amazing,” he said.

Chris Betanourt and best friend Dillon Hill have embarked on a touching journey to tick off a bucket list. ()

“It’s fantastic to actually experience life.”

While it started off with 50 experiences, the list has since doubled.

“We want the list to reflect what life is, and we think that life is never done being experienced,” Mr Hill said.

Still left to tick off are plans to see a baseball game, break a world record, find love and appear on the Ellen Degeneres Show.
